How To Build Functional Outpost POI Anywhere In Starfield 

Here the basic steps in writing: 1. Open console and type placethere 00260ED4 to place a fake outpost beacon in the restricted zone. 2. Target the beacon with console open, it should say ACTI then type setoutpostoverlay to set the overlay. Don't use this beacon. It won't work properly. 3. Walk out of the zone and start the normal outpost placement UI. 4. Walk back into the zone and place the beacon without error. 5. Don't forget to remove the overlap limits by adding [Workshop] fClosestPointToleranceLargeItems=-100 to your StarfieldCustom INI. 6. Open the build menu via your real beacon at least once to make sure you can see all objects. You can now place objects anywhere. You have a functional POI and you can even place a landing pad to land at. Build Your Outpost ANYWHERE! Wuhu!

This is the author, great little video, very simple and easy to understand! I uploaded a bat form aswell that might make it a bit more simple, the original was hidden because it only contains text :(. I run that tolerance line already, also (fClosestPointTolerance=-200) it helps with small item tolerance a lot, I haven't played around a lot since making the mod, very good addition. Thanks a lot for making this so quickly!

Merci beaucoup ! I was looking for that last line for a long time.👍

Dude, you are a freaking LEGEND!! Thank you so much!!

Awesome, and thanks for the simple yet efficient tutorial...liked and subbed :)

Definitely going to have to take advantage of this!

i was asking for a video on the nexus mods, then i saw your comment video there lol, thanks for that !

Can you remove the "fake" one after it?

Like placing a workbench in Fallout 4. Thank you! This is so much better then those bland looking outposts....

Hey, I like your video I ran into an issue, so I used you technique to "take over" a Fracking station. I ran out of minerals to build my landing pad so I left to buy some and I came back into a forest, that is now growing inside the already existing buildings from the Fracking station. Is there a way to remove those extra trees and rocks that are now blocking some ladders and stairs ?

Very nice! One question, can we delete the initial beacon from step 1 afterwards, or does it have to remain in the world?

Not working for me. Will not let me place the 2nd beacon. Tried in 3 different places.

If you play on two different computers does the steam cloud remember this so I can jump back and fourth between computers?

Absolutely based, thank you.

I did this in a pirate lair with an underground landing pad that I could fit a small landing pad onto. Now my entire C-class arrives underground with a possible closable roof! (switch somewhere?) One day I arrived and a ship landed *through* my own ship. (that and all the pirates re-spawned). I had to tcl myself to their bridge to take their ship and take off to orbit *through* my C-class ship. I landed a walkable distance away and walked back to find my C-class still sitting on the pad with pirates in my landing bay. Unimpressed I took back my C-class back (no pirates inside). In general I found that some of the "ground" in restricted areas isn't real ground as far as outpost buildings are concerned so you get the "foundations too tall" error. But a blast of a mod nonetheless!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

Do you have a fix for console players?

I did this at a POI on Niira, the abandoned biochem lab. Everything was going good until I loaded my game up a little bit after doing this and there were trees all over the place intersecting buildings and all kinds of stuff. Every time I load the save more trees and even in different locations. My best assumption is that this should only be done on planets without a lot of objects. Anyone else having this issue?

Does this remove achievements?

What is that location?

Wait, if you clear out an outpost of enemies and use this method, will the NPC enemies spawn back in over time?

Could not get this to work near Paradiso, when I come back into the fake outpost zone it still says the area is restricted.

There has to be a way to tell the game to use the landing pad that's there at the outpost. The small one shown in the video obviously won't work with big ships.

after i restart my game it says "area is restricted" again... What do I do to keep permanent build access?

Im alittle annoyed that you can't take over buildings as easy as in FO. Shame SF had to be different to that degree :(

This is great and all, but im just trying to do this on Xbox lol
